Automatic merge from submit-queue (batch tested with PRs 50277, 50823, 50376, 50867)

NR Infrastructure agent example daemonset

Copy of previous newrelic example, then modified to use the new agent
"newrelic-infra" instead of "nrsysmond".

Also maps all of host node's root fs into /host in the container (ro,
but still exposes underlying node info into a container).

Updates to README



**What this PR does / why we need it**:  It provides an example basic configuration to get New Relic Infrastructure monitoring agent installed as a daemonset in containers on a cluster.  It started as a clone of examples/newrelic/, then updated to use the "infrastructure" docker image provided by New Relic.

**Which issue this PR fixes** *(optional, in `fixes #<issue number>(, fixes #<issue_number>, ...)` format, will close that issue when PR gets merged)*: fixes #

**Special notes for your reviewer**:

**Release note**:

```NONE

## New Relic Infrastructure Server Monitoring Agent Example
This example shows how to run a New Relic Infrastructure server monitoring agent as a pod in a DaemonSet on an existing Kubernetes cluster.
This example will create a DaemonSet which places the New Relic Infrastructure monitoring agent on every node in the cluster. It's also fairly trivial to exclude specific Kubernetes nodes from the DaemonSet to just monitor specific servers. (The prior nrsysmond has been deprecated.)
### Step 0: Prerequisites
This process will create privileged containers which have full access to the host system for logging. Beware of the security implications of this.
DaemonSets must be enabled on your cluster. Instructions for enabling DaemonSet can be found [here](../../docs/api.md#enabling-the-extensions-group).
### Step 1: Configure New Relic Infrastructure Agent
The New Relic Infrastructure agent is configured via environment variables. We will configure these environment variables in a sourced bash script, encode the environment file data, and store it in a secret which will be loaded at container runtime. (Reread this sentence a few times, it's *HOW* the entire container works.)
The [New Relic Linux Infrastructure Server configuration page](https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/servers/new-relic-servers-linux/installation-configuration/configuring-servers-linux) lists all the other settings for the Infrastructure process.
To create an environment variable for a setting, prepend NRIA_ to its name and capitalize all of the env variable. For example,
```console
log_file=/var/log/nr-infra.log
```
translates to
```console
NRIA_LOG_FILE=/var/log/nr-infra.log
```
Edit examples/newrelic-infrastructure/nrconfig.env and configure relevant environment variables for your NewRelic Infrastructure agent. There are a few defauts defined, but the only required variable is the New Relic license key.
Now, let's vendor the config into a secret.
```console
$ cd examples/newrelic-infrastructure/
$ ./config-to-secret.sh
```
<!-- BEGIN MUNGE: EXAMPLE newrelic-config-template.yaml -->
```yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: newrelic-config
type: Opaque
data:
config: {{config_data}}
```
[Download example](newrelic-config-template.yaml?raw=true)
<!-- END MUNGE: EXAMPLE newrelic-config-template.yaml -->
The script will encode the config file and write it to `newrelic-config.yaml`.
Finally, submit the config to the cluster:
```console
$ kubectl create -f examples/newrelic-infrastructure/newrelic-config.yaml
```
### Step 2: Create the DaemonSet definition.
The DaemonSet definition instructs Kubernetes to place a newrelic Infrastructure agent on each Kubernetes node.
<!-- BEGIN MUNGE: EXAMPLE newrelic-infra-daemonset.yaml -->
```yaml
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1
kind: DaemonSet
metadata:
name: newrelic-infra-agent
labels:
tier: monitoring
app: newrelic-infra-agent
version: v1
spec:
template:
metadata:
labels:
name: newrelic

# Filter to specific nodes:

hostIPC: true

name: newrelic
command: [ "bash", "-c", "source /etc/kube-nr-infra/config && /usr/bin/newrelic-infra" ]
volumeMounts:
- name: newrelic-config
mountPath: /etc/kube-nr-infra
readOnly: true
- name: dev
mountPath: /dev
- name: run
mountPath: /var/run/docker.sock
- name: log
mountPath: /var/log
- name: host-root
mountPath: /host
readOnly: true
volumes:
- name: newrelic-config
secret:
secretName: newrelic-config
- name: dev
hostPath:
path: /dev
- name: run
hostPath:
path: /var/run/docker.sock
- name: log
hostPath:
path: /var/log
- name: host-root
hostPath:
path: /
```
[Download example](newrelic-infra-daemonset.yaml?raw=true)
<!-- END MUNGE: EXAMPLE newrelic-infra-daemonset.yaml -->
The daemonset instructs Kubernetes to spawn pods on each node, mapping /dev/, /run/, and /var/log to the container. It also maps the entire kube node / to /host/ in the container with a read-only mount. It also maps the secrets we set up earlier to /etc/kube-newrelic/config, and sources them in the startup script, configuring the agent properly.
#### DaemonSet customization
- There are more environment variables for fine tuning the infrastructure agent's operation (or a yaml file that you'd have to construct). See [Infrastructure Agent Environment Variables][(https://docs.newrelic.com/docs/infrastructure/new-relic-infrastructure/configuration/configure-infrastructure-agent) for the full list.
### Known issues
It's a bit cludgy to define the environment variables like we do here in these config files. There is [another issue](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/4710) to discuss adding mapping secrets to environment variables in Kubernetes. (Personally I don't like that method and prefer to use the config secrets.)
